1. What is Trientina Tillomed and what is it used for
Trientina Tillomed contains trientine. This medicine is used for the treatment of Wilson's disease. Wilson's disease is a hereditary condition in which the body is unable to transport copper in the body normally or to remove it, as secretion from the liver to the intestine. This means that small amounts of copper from food and beverages accumulate until they reach excessive levels and can cause damage to the liver and problems with the nervous system. This medicine works mainly by binding to the copper present in the body, allowing its elimination through the urine and helping to lower copper levels. It can also bind to the copper present in the intestine, thereby reducing the amount absorbed by the body.
Trientina Tillomed is administered to adults, adolescents and children aged 5 years and over who do not tolerate another medicine indicated for the treatment of this disease, called penicillamine.
Controls the amount of copper present in the body by binding to it. Copper can then be eliminated from the body.
2. What you need to know before you take Trientina Tillomed
Do not take Trientina Tillomed:
- If you are allergic to trientine or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before taking Trientina Tillomed.
If you were already taking another medicine containing trientine, your doctor may adjust the dose
daily, the number of capsules or the number of administrations during the day when switching
to treatment with Trientina Tillomed.
Symptoms may worsen after starting treatment. If this happens, tell your doctor.
The doctor will regularly perform blood and urine tests to ensure that you receive the dose of
Trientina Tillomed most suitable for controlling symptoms and copper levels.
Tell your doctor if you experience any side effects, as this may indicate that the
dose of trientine needs to be increased or decreased.
This medicine can also reduce the level of iron in the blood and your doctor may prescribe iron
supplements (see section "Other medicines and Trientina Tillomed" below).
If you have kidney or liver problems, your doctor will regularly check that the treatment dose is
appropriate and does not affect the functioning of the kidneys or liver.
The combination of trientine with another medicine containing zinc is not recommended.
Reactions from lupus-like syndrome (symptoms may include persistent rash, fever, joint pain and fatigue) have been reported in some patients who switched to trientine after treatment
with penicillamine. However, it has not been possible to determine whether the reaction was due to trientine or
to previous treatment with penicillamine.
Children and adolescents
The doctor will perform more frequent checks to ensure that copper levels are maintained at a level
adequate for normal growth and mental development.
Other medicines and Trientina Tillomed
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines,
including those available without a prescription.
In particular, you should tell your doctor if you are already taking iron supplements or if you take remedies for
digestive disorders (medicines that reduce discomfort after meals). In this case, you may need to
take Trientina Tillomed at a different time of day to maintain its effectiveness.
If you take iron supplements, make sure at least two hours have passed between taking Trientina
Tillomed and taking the iron supplements.
Trientina Tillomed with food and drink
Swallow the capsules with water on an empty stomach, at least one hour before meals or two hours after meals and
at least one hour away from any other medicine, food or milk.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility
If you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant, are planning a pregnancy or are breastfeeding with
breast milk, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine. You and your doctor
must discuss the potential benefits of treatment thoroughly, while also considering any possible risks that continuing
therapy may entail. Your doctor will advise you on which treatment and which dose are most suitable for your situation.
If you are pregnant and taking Trientina Tillomed, you will be monitored throughout your pregnancy for
any effects on the baby or changes in your blood copper levels.
At the birth of the baby, the levels of copper and ceruloplasmin in the baby's blood will also be monitored.
It is not known whether trientine passes into breast milk. It is important to tell your doctor if
you are breastfeeding or intend to breastfeed. The doctor will help you decide whether to
stop breastfeeding or stop taking Trientina Tillomed, considering the benefits of breastfeeding for the baby and the benefit of therapy with Trientina
Tillomed for the mother. The doctor will decide on the treatment and the dose most appropriate for your situation.
Driving and using machines
It is not believed that trientine affects the ability to drive vehicles or use tools or machinery.
Trientina Tillomed contains sodium
